Mumford & Sons album Delta is awesome
I only just noticed that Mumford & Sons have a new(ish) album, Delta. I’m listening to it as I work, and it’s really good! I’ve basically had “If I say” on repeat for the last 15 minutes: You can listen to the whole album on Spotify, and wherever else fine albums may be streamed or…

My introduction to Narkis and Claire Guerreso
